Doughnut Drive

Written & Directed by Finella Waddilove 

“What if he’s dead…And I’ve killed someone.”

 

Doughnut Drive is a comedy-crime-thriller about Billericay-born best friends, Bex and Yaz.

Last year, Bex’s dad died. And Bex aint coping too well…

She now heads his car dealership, 'Martin’s Motors' - ironically, while harbouring a driving ban.

On the eve before the ban is finally set to be lifted, Bex is seduced by her self-destructive streak and makes a truly MUGGY decision, with deadly consequences. 

Desperate and spiralling, she turns to her best mate for help. But how exactly is Yaz’s passion for doughnuts and film club meant to fix this shambolic mess?

 

Doughnut Drive explores themes of mental health, grief, friendship, and the impact of self-destructive behaviour on those closest to us.

Think Snatch meets Hot Fuzz…but with Essex birds. 

It’s time to break the law through a female lens!
